One would not suppose that a few PIN

piece of paper would be matter to be trou-

he said excitedly, "thst if you used that GER

up between his eyes and the light, and as the
rays shot through the minute but tell-tsle
puuctures he rsved and tore around again.
PIN holes in the upper right-hsnd corner of
newspaper wouldn't mean anything. In that

queer Birds of Yesterday.

A number of large and interesting birds
have become extinct within recent times.
OF these the epiornis, of Madagascar, was
probably the largest. Fossil fragments
indicate that this creature was at least
twelve feet N height, with a weight five or
six times as great as that of the ostrich.
Specimens of its eggs have been found and
measure nearly thirteen and half inches
in largest diameter by nine inches in
smallest diameter, with capacity of
nearly eight quarts. The moa, or dinor-
mis-, of New Zealand, was also larger than
any bird now living, its height having
been ten or twelve feet. Its .'dru mstick'
was thirty to thirty-two inches long, and
its eggs so large that hat would make a
good egg cup for them.
The famous dodo, fifty pound bird of
Mauritius, was once well known to the
Datch, but has not been reported as seen
during the last 200 years. The solitaire is
another exterminated bird of the same
island. The great aux, of the North Sea,
IS supposed to have become extinct since
1874. These are few of the latest disap.
pearances of the bird world; other large
species are fast diminishing in numbers,
and soon the Australian emue and New
Zealand apteryx, for example, will have
passed away also. Il Arkansaw Traveller.

Terrible Blow.

Crushing the skull of an Ok at a single
Terrible Blow.
A man eater, which for six months had
been the terror of the neighborhood, had
been tracked down and was seen to creep
into ravine. The heaters were at once or
dered off. as they could not be of service,
and might be charged upon by the tiger,
which had all eady been rendered furious
by wound. Unfortunately, these men are
in the habit of half intoxicating themselves
with opium before driving the tiger from
his refuge, and aae of them who had taken
too large a dose refused to escape, and
challenged the tiger, drawing his sword and
waving it defantly. In moment the ami
NAL sprang upon him, dashed him to the
ground with a blow of his paw, and turned
at bay. After series of desperate charges
he was killed. The hunters then went to
the assistance of the wounded man, but
found that he was past all aid, the lower
part of his face, including both jaws, had
been carried away, as if by cannon
ball.
The terrific effect of the single blow in
dictates the power the limb whicA struck it.
Had the blow taken effect a few inches
higher the whole of the head would have
been carried away. By similar blow IT,

an OK SO completely that when handled the
broken bones felt as if they were loose il q

diminishes when the limb is measured.

was two feet seven inches. The cores
